how do i delete the classical music playlist from my ipod

Go to itunes on your computer and then open your music tab then click the playlist tab. Now click 'File' then 'new' then 'Playlist folder' and then drag any playlist you want to delete into that folder then delete the folder 🙂

HarleyGC7:

why not simply delete any (and every) playlist that isn't wanted? What is the purpose of adding a playlist (that you want to delete) to a folder?

I tried to delete the preset playlists that are already there in iTunes (recnetly added, 90's music, most played etc) but you cant delete them as they are locked. You can only delete playlists you create on your iPod iPhone etc. So the way i found to delete the ones already there that are locked is by going into iTunes on your computer and clicking 'File' then 'new' then 'Playlist folder', dragging the locked playlists into the folder and then deleteing the folder. 😀

That's not correct.

Here's the default Playlist named "Top 25 Most Played". Watch what happens; right-click:

and on clicking Delete, you get this pop-up:

and here it is, gone!

... and now iTunes is highlighting the Windham Hill Playlist because I've deleted the one above it (Top 25 Most Played).

They are not locked and because they can be deleted, the User Tips in the iTunes for Windows discussions includes one for restoring the original Playlists: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2782

Well i did not get that message when i tried to delete them, all it said was 'play' and 'export'.

Anyway the method i used took about 20 seconds aswell lol

Okay, I tried that. I went to music. I created a new playlist folder and them moved a couple of the standard playlists that I did not care for into that folder and then deleted that folder. The classical playlist is still showing on the ipod. It did not let me create a playlist folder under the ipod hierarchy. Will it go away with a sync?

Also, do you know if there is a maximum number of playlists that an ipod classic can handle? I tried moving a whole bunch to the ipod, but some did not transfer.
